This little piggy...

I'm so happy to have met some really sweet girls in our new neighborhood. There are lots of little buddies for Felicity to play with and I just still feel so grateful to be here in this neighborhood. One of my new neighbor friends, Danielle, invited me to go get manis/pedis with her the other day. Her husband was able to watch her little boy and I thought that Justin might be able to watch Felicity, but he ended up having an appointment for work, so I had to bring her.

I was really nervous about it. Fe is by no means the age or the type of kiddo that is into sitting still for long (or short, for that matter) periods of time. I mean, people go to the nail salon to relax and get away from their kids, so I was really hoping this wouldn't be a disaster...plus, I wanted to make a good impression on my new friend. I came prepared with Ariel, Belle and Cinderella loot, snacks, juice, etc. and hoped for the best. I gave up on trying to get the manicure and just decided to attempt a pedicure while holding Fe in my lap. Shockingly, she did great. She played with all her dolls and talked to the people doing our nails. I was so proud of her and very relieved. She was getting a little wiggly towards the end, so I asked the lady doing my feet if it was possible for her to paint Felicity's toenails. She said yes and that it would be $4. Can't beat that! So, I asked Felicity what color she wanted them to be and she said "yellow." I honestly wouldn't have cared one bit if she had them painted yellow, but we already had the red for mine with us, so Felicity said that color would be ok. So Fe and I got matching pedicures. Her little toes were so cute. Professional pedicures are not going to be a regular occurrence for this 1 year old, but it was a fun treat for her...and me too. Daddy was quite surprised, but thought her toes were very pretty too.

Ta da!
